Just browsing astronomy equipment and came across these things called tripod vibration suppression pads. The most expensive are from Celestron (no surprises here), but there are also some other cheaper brands.
Anyone ever tried them? Do the make any work with vibrations? If yes, I suppose that they'll be great for astrophotography/observing with light mounts.
Looking forward for your comments

Adding my first successful(?!?!?!) try with astrophotography. From super light polluted Athens/Greece, I present you M31.
I took this on September 2017
Only 6 lights @21 seconds, with 1600 iso. Meaning a total of 2 minutes.
Telescope : skywatcher 130 pds
mount: skywatcher synscan goto
camera: canon 1100d (un-modded)
DSS was used for stacking and cs6 for streching

I am looking for CLS clip filters, for EOS Canon dslr, in a logical price, either from Astronomik or from Skytech.
Just pointing out, that I am looking for the plain CLS, not the CCD one, and not for the full frame canon.
If anyone doesn't need it anymore, and is willing to sell, please let me know

So LightBucket, If I understand correctly, your take is that whether or not you have a modded dslr the logical choice is the cls version, and not the ccd one.
Right?I am trying to get this straight, since I am too, looking for a filter
